1 | Did Christ die for the world? | 1 John 2:2 | DocTrinsograce | 180782 | ||
Dear New, I am not worried for you or Tim. The one needing the voice was history! ;-) Georgius and Calvin are no longer available for comment. However, their debate was an open one -- at least open to Protestant populations -- so I thought it robbery to fail to offer that same openness that the debate enjoyed when it was new. I also thought it was fair for people to know from whence Georgius derived the authority for his statement. (He wouldn't have joined the SBF.) Yes, your interpretation of 1 John 2:2 has become quite popular over the years. With the passage of time, many of the Reformation principles for sound hermeneutics have vanished from the popular pulpit. If your particular opinion on the matter holds weight, then let me give voice to the opposing opinion. Bringing more Scriptural light to bear on the question, and letting both voices be heard, gives a fairness -- albeit a Protestant fairness -- and balance to the discussion for those who might not have the benefit to knowing "the rest of the story." :-) Now that the balance has been restored, shall we leave this 5 year old thread, letting it return in peace to the musty archives from which you disturbed it slumber? ;-) In Him, Doc |

2 | Did Christ die for the world? | 1 John 2:2 | New Creature | 180784 | ||
Even though the thread is 5 years old to you, it was new to me. I just now got around to reading it. Is there a rule against commenting on older threads? If I were to use your logic about "not disturbing musty archives" then I would also need to leave the Bible and all that is contained in it undisturbed as well, since it's archives are much older and mustier.

No such rule, convention, or "logic" (sic) exists. Nor did I advocate such. :-) Starting a new thread, though, will allow current forum members to participate. Half the folks in this old thread aren't around to offer you an answer! Of course, they will render the least resistance in your polemic. :-) |

Thanks Doc Your comment brings to my attention the fact that newer members who didn't participate in the original discussion, may have some new insight or comment of interest that might be worthy of consideration. Blessings NC |
